Just comming up to working 20 years for the same company next month.
Being honest I still enjoy it.


Just wondering how long you have worked for your company and do you still enjoy it ?

18 months, but fairly certain 2yrs will be the max.

We have been told our jobs can be done by Hungarians for a fraction of the cost...and to think I took this role to get into the business and stay put for the medium term irked

What do you do?




Worked my current job for about 6 months now and it's boring, but unfortunately not a lot of choice in this job-ridden part of the UK!

4.5 years working freelance.

Always dreamed of doing it - but never thought I would... until the company that I worked for went bump and I had a mortgage to fund!!!

I would find it VERY hard to go back to an office environment now. (partly because I never get up early! and I enjoy working late)




Oh and being VAT reg. certainly helps wink

No! A record is round, made of black vinyl and has a hole in the middle.
But that's not important at the moment!smile
